FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the standby state, the entire lever 600 is biased in the + y-axis direction by the elastic portion 602, and the pressing portion 604 is outside the inner diameter of the coin tube. Therefore, in the standby state, the coins in the coin tube are not pressed and held by the pressing unit 604. Therefore, when the coin tube is tilted in this state, all coins in the coin tube are collected.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, in the operating state, the entire lever 600 moves in the −y axis direction, so that the pressing portion 604 enters inside the inner diameter of the coin tube through the opening portion 620. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, the coin C in the coin tube is pressed and held by the pressing portion 604 against the inner wall on the opposite side to the pressing portion 604 of the coin tube. Therefore, when the coin tube is tilted in this state, coins above the position of the pressing portion 604 are collected, but coins below the position of the pressing portion 604 are left in the coin tube. In order to absorb the variation in the load applied to the body portion 601, at least the contact surface with the coin in the pressing portion 604 may be formed of an elastic body such as silicon rubber.
